Digital BW, The Print

Yes, this is a very nice tool especially if you have come from a 
traditional BW film/printing background since it mimics some of those 
tools. I found the second section where you can adjust an image B&W 
tonal conversion from color with sliders based on the color spectrum to 
be the most useful and to be the real power of this plug-in. It's 
interface is intutitive and the image quality is good. I have, however, 
found some posterization in images if I use the color filter controls, 
in the first section, and the color spectrum controls in the second 
section together. So if you use them together don't get too extreme in 
either section. I find the contrast and brightness controls, that mimic 
film over/under exposure and paper contrasts values, in the third 
section, to be reasonably accurate to the traditional materials, nice 
to get all those "in between" contrast paper settings but linear in 
nature and much less useful, control-wise, than photoshop curves. The 
toning functions seem to work well but I don't use them much. Overall 
there is nothing this plugin does that you can't do in photoshop but 
the format does make the conversion easier for those coming from film-
based imaging backgrounds and/or like an easy-to-use interface (like 
me!).
